Heterologous corneal endothelial cell transplantation--human corneal endothelial cell transplantation in Lewis rats.
A heterologous corneal endothelial transplantation was attempted using human endothelial cells and a Lewis rat penetrating keratoplasty model. Cultured human endothelial cells were seeded to a Lewis rat cornea, which was denuded of its endothelium. When grafted into the syngeneic Lewis rat, the graft remained clear for at least five days, and then became opaque and edematous because of immune r...
متن کاملcorneal endothelial cell evaluation in donors with aluminum phosphide intoxication
purpose: to evaluate corneal endothelial cells of donors who died from aluminum phosphide intoxication. methods: endothelial cell count and quality of eight corneas from four donors with aluminum phosphide intoxication were evaluated by slit lamp biomicroscopy and specular microscopy at the eye bank of i.r. iran. confocal scan examination was carried out only in one of the recipients. results: ...
متن کاملLinking endothelial dysfunction with endothelial cell activation.
The thin layer of cells that lines the interior of blood vessels, known as the endothelium, plays a complex role in vascular biology. The endothelium mediates blood vessel tone, hemostasis, neutrophil recruitment, hormone trafficking, and fluid filtration. Endothelial dysfunction, as defined by a lack of NO, has been linked to a variety of disease states, including atherosclerosis, diabetes mel...
متن کاملFreeze fracture study of human corneal endothelial dysfunction.
Intramembrane changes occurring in dysfunctional corneal endothelial cell membranes were examined using freeze-fracture and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Three categories of dysfunctional endothelium were examined: aphakic bullous keratopathy, pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. Keratoconus corneas and a donor eye bank eye were examined as normal co...
متن کاملpredictors of endothelial cell density of corneal grafts after dsaek
purpose: to evaluate endothelial cell density (ecd) and morphology of clear corneal grafts after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek) and to determine the factors that influence graft ecd postoperatively. methods: seventy-seven eyes (38 right eyes) of 64 patients (34 female subjects) who underwent dsaek for fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy (n=38) or pseudophakic bullous ker...
